On September 7, 2020, Dmitry Razumkov, the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, said that the Ukrainian society is not ready to legalize marijuana, short-barreled weapons and prostitution, reports the edition "Ukrainska Pravda".

Commenting on the idea of legalizing soft drugs, in particular marijuana, for medical purposes, Razumkov noted that he does not support this initiative: “I myself have never used it, and if we are talking about medical purposes, then we very often have bad ideas under a beautiful signboard ... Therefore, I do not support it."

The Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada also has a negative attitude to the proposal to legalize prostitution. According to him, "this is not for Ukrainian realities".

“I don’t think that mentally, religiously and historically Ukrainian society will be ready to legalize the service sector,” Dmitry Razumkov stressed.

In his opinion, the Ukrainian society is also not ready to legalize short-barreled weapons.

As reported earlier, the people's deputy who spoke about low-quality children demands that prostitution should be allowed.
